[Intro]
\nRed, white, and blue
\n(What’s he selling you?)
\nFlags up high
\n(Who’s asking why?)<\/p>\n
Proud and loud
\n(Bowing to the crowd)
\nShout it out
\n(What hate’s about?)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nBlame the stranger, blame the poor
\nBuild a wall and slam the door
\nCall it freedom, call it pride
\nKeep the facts and truth outside<\/p>\n
Point a finger, stir the fear
\nTell the crowd what they wanna hear
\nWrap exclusion in a flag
\nSell a dream inside a bag!<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nIgnorance (is no excuse)
\nArrogance (is on the loose)<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nIrrational-ist
\n(White nationalist)
\nRaised fist
\n(Proud and loud)<\/p>\n
White?
\n(Not quite right!)
\nRight?
\n(Not quite right!)<\/p>\n
In the head…
\n(Braindead)<\/p>\n
Got a heart?
\n(Won’t start)<\/p>\n
Beats at the rate
\n(… of hate!)
\nIrate!
\n(Berate!)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nTariffs rising, prices climb
\nWho’s the loser every time?
\nTrade wars hit the family store
\nWorking folks pay even more<\/p>\n
Deficits grow, the debt piles high
\nBig bold promises don’t tell you why
\nInterest payments take their share
\nWho’s left holding the bill out there?<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nIgnorance (is no excuse)
\nArrogance (is on the loose)<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nIrrational-ist
\n(White nationalist)
\nRaised fist
\n(Proud and loud)<\/p>\n
White?
\n(Not quite right!)
\nRight?
\n(Not quite right!)<\/p>\n
In the head…
\n(Braindead)<\/p>\n
Got a heart?
\n(Won’t start)<\/p>\n
Beats at the rate
\n(… of hate!)
\nIrate!
\n(Berate!)<\/p>\n
[Verse 3]
\n“America First!” is the battle cry
\nBut look at the cost as the numbers climb
\nFavored friends get the golden deal
\nWhile ordinary households feel<\/p>\n
“Make us great!” is the grand refrain
\nBut who gets the gain and who gets the pain?
\nWhen the slogan’s loud and the facts don’t fit
\nAsk who profits from the political grift!<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\n[Instrumental: Banjo Solo]
\nFlag waving
\n(Fear craving)
\nCrowd roaring
\n(Truth ignoring)<\/p>\n
Blame and shame
\n(That’s the game)
\nStrongman pose
\n(There it goes!)<\/p>\n
Ultranationalism
\n(Authoritarianism)
\nScapegoat the few
\n(To distract from the true)<\/p>\n
Patriotism isn’t hate
\nOr a license to manipulate
\nA nation isn’t one man’s throne
\nAnd a flag belongs to everyone!<\/p>\n
Proud and loud!
\n(Question the crowd!)
\nRaised fist!
\n(Resist the twist!)<\/p>\n
Check the cost!
\n(Count what’s lost!)
\nFollow the money!
\n(Who’s getting the honey?)<\/p>\n
[Verse 4]
\nYou can’t build strength by spreading fear
\nOr make truth disappear
\nYou can’t make every problem go away
\nBy blaming someone else today<\/p>\n
A healthy nation needs the facts
\nNot a slogan to cover the cracks
\nJustice, fairness, room to stand
\nA future built by every hand!<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nIgnorance (is no excuse)
\nArrogance (is on the loose)<\/p>\n
[Final Chorus]
\nIrrational-ist
\n(White nationalist)
\nRaised fist
\n(Proud and loud)<\/p>\n
White?
\n(Not quite right!)
\nRight?
\n(Not quite right!)<\/p>\n
In the head…
\n(Braindead)<\/p>\n
Got a heart?
\n(Won’t start)<\/p>\n
Beats at the rate
\n(… of hate!)
\nIrate!
\n(Berate!)<\/p>\n
Irrational-ist
\n(What’s the real cost?)
\nNationalist
\n(Who’s getting lost?)<\/p>\n
White?
\n(Not quite right!)
\nRight?
\n(Show us the light!)<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\nNo more fear
\n(The truth is here)
\nNo more lies
\n(Open your eyes)<\/p>\n
A nation strong
\n(Doesn’t need hate)
\nA future fair
\n(We all create)<\/p>\n
Proud and loud?
\n(Think it through!)
\nRed, white, and blue
\n(Belongs to you, too!)<\/p>\n
Ignorance?
\n(Is no excuse!)
\nArrogance?
\n(Out of use!)<\/p>\n
White nationalist…
\n(Not in our name!)
\nA flag for all…
\n(Not a game!)<\/p>\n
About the Song
\nThe Economy: Tariffs, Deficits, and the Cost of Corruption
\nTrump\u2019s tariffs, acts of war, anti-science claims, white nationalist policies, and corruption have contributed to unprecedented trade and budget deficits and an unsustainable national debt at record levels. The resulting fiscal pressures compound the economic burden of interest payments, while federal borrowing adds upward pressure to interest rates.<\/p>\n
The Trump administration\u2019s claims that racist, bigoted, and white nationalist policies \u201cMake America Great Again\u201d and put \u201cAmerica First\u201d are contradicted by the economic consequences of its policies. Tariffs raise costs, trade conflicts disrupt markets, and government resources are directed toward favored industries while American households bear the burden.<\/p>\n
This is not economic nationalism delivering broad-based prosperity. It is an economic agenda that places ideological priorities and political interests above the financial well-being of ordinary Americans. Its rhetoric bears the hallmarks of neo-fascist propaganda: ultranationalism, scapegoating, authoritarianism, and the presentation of exclusionary policies as patriotic necessities.<\/p>\n
